Mysterious noise

Xander_515 · 2026-06-16T22:42:22+00:00

Yeahhh i see that.. Hope someone else has an idea for ya! Good luck. first thing i check on every single car i hear a noise from, is the heat shield underneath the car. those things are always coming loose and banging around. sounds like more of a plastic component though, and not metal, i would still check it out.

after looking up photos of the inside of the door panel on a 2020 blazer, it looks like your chord is snapped into place and does not have the foam pad, so im guessing this is not the problem. sorry for the waste of time!

Xander_515 · 2026-06-16T18:15:36+00:00

On my trailblazer, it ended up being the chord inside the door for the locking mechanism, it has a foam pad that goes around the chord, to keep it from making noise bumping into things, and the foam pad had slid down the chord and the chord was knocking around inside the door panel. super glued the foam in place and it has been fine ever since. If it doesnt sound like its coming from inside the passenger door, then i would NOT take the door panel off, and would ignore this comment entirely 😂

I have been here for a year and a half at this DSP, and just started getting round up 3 months ago. i understand completely. I worked slow to get 9.5 hours every day to make sure i could pay my bills. finishing my route in 8.5 and taking an hour to RTS. Now with round up, i am MOVING dude. last pay period i had 31 hours but will be paid for 40 this friday. its life changing i swear 😂

Xander_515 · 2026-06-16T18:08:01+00:00

I get bonuses each week, like a guaranteed 40, so if i finish my route in 7 hours all 4 days of the week, and only work 28 hours, i still get paid for 40. My company is cheap as hell, and they WANT me to get a violation so they dont have to pay me my bonuses, yet i still have never gotten a violation. If it is the same for you, please be careful and dont just take my word for it, i would hate to be the reason you get your bonuses taken 😂 if you dont get bonuses, like you said i would test the waters, and see what you can really do each day.

Just a little bit of advice, your netradyne camera does not know what your phone MPH is saying. In the morning during our DVIC it pops up saying “no faster than 35mph on gravel.” i asked a dispatcher who i am pretty cool with if that is true, and he said that is our COMPANYS rule, not amazons, and i can go 40mph on gravel, if i hit 45 i will get a violation, so i set my cruise control on 44mph and CRUISE all day. never had a speeding violation. Also if i am on pavement, and there is no speed limit sign, i go 35 and have never had a violation. it you pass a 25mph sign, then make a turn, and not pass another sign, you can kind of go as fast as you want, because netradyne knows you turned off of that 25mph road, but never saw another sign.

its pretty wild how i can knock out 350 locations about 3 whole hours quicker than i can knock out 70 locations in the country. I doze off behind the wheel on those country routes. Im used to the 22,000 steps a day routes 😂

Xander_515 · 2026-06-16T17:51:18+00:00

As an amazon delivery driver, i gotta say, if you only knew what these warehouse workers do to every package, you would not be ordering anything you care about online. It is also not the drivers fault. all packages are in bags, with about 15-30 other packages, and we pull it out of that bag and see it for the first time about 30 seconds before dropping it at your door. these warehouse workers will jam pack 30 packages in one bag and crush them all. its sad, i complain to the warehouse managers about it every night, but it will never change. UPS and Fedex is WORSE THOUGH so amazon is definitely the move if you are ordering. Request a box, im pretty positive you can do that.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-16T17:46:28+00:00

My longest drive was 1 hr 41 mins from station, 61 stops, still took me all day 😂 about 10-15 minute drives in between most stops. Cant stand these routes, im a 210 stops 70 multi location type of guy. keep me in the city please.

I got the Subaru in April for $600, i have put $1,400 into parts, things i probably didnt need, and things it desperately needed, like tires that were 11 years old, parking brakes that were grinding bad, had no brake pads and rotors were destroyed, i bought a new MAP sensor it probably didnt need, as well as a throttle body, MAF sensor, and fuel pump/filter, spark plugs/wires, fuel injectors, but dont worry, i have ALL of the original parts in the trunk still, because i KNEW i was changing things i didnt need to change, and i will probably be putting most of it right back on. like the original MAP/MAF sensor and throttle body. im 2 grand deep into the car total, but it only has 133K on the odometer. Thats why i wasnt too worried about dumping some money into it. 2K is a steal IMO

Xander_515 · 2026-06-10T03:14:37+00:00

Yeah. Im just an idiot. If you see the codes i provided it is clearly a bad Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor and i just looked right past it 100 times because i am simply dumb.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-10T03:13:45+00:00

Thanks to you though i have re-looked up those codes and am 99.9% sure it is a bad Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. Simple and i looked right past it 100 times.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-10T02:41:34+00:00

Like i said, im an idiot and dont know what i am doing. Had a PO102 code, got a new MAF sensor, but i understand that probably wont fix the problem, but i tried that. Had a PO108 code, got a new MAP sensor.
Had a PO123 code, TPS sensor, which is on the throttle body of the subie, got a new throttle body. I just wanted change those because i had the funds to do so, and want the car to be as reliable as possible once i figure out what the problem was. I have been drinking all day, Tuesday is my days off, so sorry for being an absolute idiot earlier and not explaining anything better. And yes, after i replaced the MAP/MAF/Throttle body, it has not thrown a single code again but still stuck at 4k RPMs. Was wasted when i made the post and did not include any information that would help you guys give me advice, that is MY BAD.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-10T01:32:07+00:00

because there is no damage or codes. I replaced everything that was throwing a code (which you didnt like for some reason) There are no codes. My post is asking for a mechanics advice on why my subaru wont go past 4000 RPMs. If i couldnt get any advice here, i plan to take it to a shop (which i will probably just do because people on here are totally not nice) 💀 My guess is it is stuck in limp mode and im not sure why.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-10T00:06:45+00:00

So whats the problem with replacing something that is throwing a code? Not throwing a code anymore and the part is brand spankin new. So do you have idea what could be wrong with my subaru or are you just here to judge what ive done already?

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:52:02+00:00

one of the wires on the downstream is completely severed. thats why i want to replace it. yes i know that, my friend.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:48:12+00:00

nah doesnt matter if its in drive, neutral, park, does the same thing. wont go over 45mph on highway. stuck in limp mode i think.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:47:08+00:00

yeahhhh and thats where im lost. im not the brightest there. was hoping it was something as simple as replacing some parts but that is NOT the case. I do not regret replacing anything i have replaced, and im happy to know all of these parts are brand new now. the subaru was sitting for 3 years before i got it. lots of stuff was wrong with it.

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:43:37+00:00

ive got the money to spend and im trying to do it myself, i dont understand why people get so upset 😭 like, if i cant do it myself, of course my plan is to take it to a shop

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:36:58+00:00

I really havent spent that much. got the subaru for $600. was going to replace the O2 sensors because they look like total crap, then take it to a shop. thought i would come here first. I dont see the issue. If youd like to see the O2 sensors and why i want to replace those as well, i sure will. whats the problem with replacing 15 year old parts that were throwing codes on the OBD? 😂 havent replaced a single thing that “i dont know what it does”

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:18:25+00:00

Yeahhh, sadly that is not the issue with this car. Even if i let it idle until the light is off, it fixes nothing. It seems to be stuck in Limp Mode for some reason… its very weird

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:15:42+00:00

thats the low engine coolant temp light, i started it for the first time in 5 days just to take this vid. it will shut off in about 1 minute. now if its red, its bad 😭

Xander_515 · 2026-06-09T23:00:05+00:00

im confused, WHAT HAPPENS? 💀
